BUILDING TILE.

Application filed September The invention relates to building tiles for forming walls and the like, and has for its object to provide means whereby the tiles may be easily and quickly anchored to the side of a wall or studding, and which meanscomprises integral apertured ribs carried by the tile, which ribs receive securing means which may be anchored to a wall studding or other support.

A further object is to provide a tile anchoring device comprising a bolt having one of its ends provided with a .nut and its other end provided with an angularly disposed portion or hook adapted to be received in an aperture of an apertured integral rib carried by the tile.

With the above and other objects in view the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawing, described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a view in elevation of the inner side of the tile showing means for anchoring the same.

Figure 2 is a. top plan view of the tile, showing the same anchored to a studding.

Figure 3 is an end view of the tile showing a modified form of anchoring device.

Referring to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates a plurality of vertically disposed uprights to which the various tiles 2 are secured, and which uprights are adapted to have secured thereto laths 3 for the reception of plaster in the usual manner. The tiles 2 on one of their sides are provided with integral ribs 4:, which when the tile are laid in courses register, and which ribs are provided with apertures 5, through which a securing wire 6 passes and which securing wire extends around the uprights 1, for securely anchoring the uprights'to the tile and the tile to the uprights, there by allowing plaster to be applied and at 18, 1925. Serial No. 57,126.

the same time forming an air space between the tile and the lathing.

Referring to Figure 3 the tile 2 are anchored to the uprights 1 by means of an L- shap-ed bolt 7, the arm 8 of which extends through one of the apertures 5, and the arm 9 through an aperture in the upright 1, and which arm 9 is provided with a nut 10 by means of which the tile and uprights may be securely clamped together in close binding engagement. It is obvious the number of apertures 2 may be varied and by providing a plurality of apertures the tile may be attached to uprights at different distances from each other.

From the above it will be seen that a building tile is provided which is simple in construction, provided with. an integral apertured rib, forming means whereby the tile may be securely anchored to uprights or other objects, or studding attached to the tile, and to which studding laths may be attached.

Although the device is shown applied toa specific type of building tile, it is to be understood the same may be used in connection with any and all kinds of buildingtile or blocks, and applicant does not limit himself to any specific construction of tile or build ing block.

The invention having been set forth what is claimed as new and useful is The combination with a horizontally disposed building tile, a horizontally disposed partition within said tile, a vertically disposed support spaced from one side of the tile, of an integralrib carried by one side of the tile in registration with the partition therein and provided with a plurality of apertures vertically disposed, and securing means carried by the support and passing through one of the apertures of the rib-between the support and the adjacent sides of the tile.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
